ComprehensiveRezoning Raney reported that the hearings previously scheduled for the four successive Thursdays in March will have to be postponed. The necessary paperwork had not been completed by the City in time for advertising. He suggested that the hearings be rescheduled for the four Thursdays in April. Tirado questioned whether a hearing should be scheduled for April 3, since this is only two days before City elections. Discussion followed, but no decision was formally made, since this item was not on the agenda. 3.ROUTINE tBUILDING PERMITS.· Church of Christ Gym/Classrooms Mr. Ray Frizzell presented plans for an additional building on the Church of Christ property.

Spears reported that the Zoning Map is ready for reduction. North asked what we were going to use for mail-outs.A discussion followed as to whether it would be required to use a legal description, a map, or whatever. Spears will ask the City Attorney's opinion. Spears reported ihat City Manager Morgan had said that the City would supply someone to take minute s of the hearings. FPZC-M-2-2O-75 2 Zoning Heartngs (continued) Zoning Violation Trailer 5.INFORMATION REPORTS Flood InsuranceMap Up-date North suggested that a better record could be kept if each participant in the hearings would submit a written statement which could be used as part of the record, since it is very hard to sift out what a person would like to have as part of the record when an informal verbal statement is made. Tirado and Spears suggested that notices of the hearing "invite a written expression: of your views.1 1 Spears will ask City Attorney Olson's opinion on a paragraph suggesting the submitssion of a written statement. North reported that it had been brought to her attention that a trailer on East Heritage is being advertised for sale, along with the lot on which it sits. It is a non-conform ing use and was also reportedly moved in after the Zoning Ordinance was passed and was at that time given a year to remain without being in compliance. A discussion followed. MOTION WAS MADE by Tirado that the Commission send a memo to the City Manager notifying him of the situation and suggesting that he check with Bill Olson to see if it is in violation. Objection was made by Bob Phillips, who stated that he was not in favor of the Commission telling the City Manager three or four times a month to tell the City staff of a violation. Raney also objected, stating that he did not feel that the Planning Commission should have to police the City. Phillips also objected to the formality of a motion. THE MOTION DIED for lack of a second. It was agreed that Spears would talk to the City Manager concerning the problem. Shore reported that he had called the engineering firm in Pennsylvania which is reported to be updating the Friendswood map. He wished to inquire about floodway designation, since nothing had been received from James Gartrell, Drainage District engineer. Charles Attinger told Shore that they are taking our existing flood map and changing the boundaries between zones to curvilinear form on a topographic basis. Annexed areas will be designated 11 A 11 zones and must continue to be determined on an individual basis. In other words, thay are not working on delineating the annexed area. This information has been submitted to the Corps of Engineers. They are not doing the fl oodway. North questioned strongly the use of the 11 A 11 zone to designate the newly annexed areas. This would make flood insurance in the undelineated areas cost the same as in the high hazard area. Shore asked Attinger how we would get the new areas delineated. Attinger told him call the F.I.A. I , 3 FPZC-M-2-2O-75 Flood Insurance Map (continued) Shore called the F. I. A., talked to Thomas Miller, who toldhim to write to Charles A. Lindsey and ask for a review and revision of the map and also for a Study 19 which would delineatethe floodway. This would take up to eighteen months. So, apparently, all previous correspondence with the F.I.A. hasnot been effective. Shore will study Gary Pate's work for the County and will send aletter to Miller. 6.ELECTION OF OFFICERS 7.ADJOURNMENT. MOTION WAS MADE by Shore, seconded by Tirado, that the current slate of officers be elected by acclimation. North accepted thenomination on the condition that the Commission consider a paid Secretary in next year's budget. MOTION PASSE D UNANIMOUSLY (with three abstentions by the no minatees) .. There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned. �J!Y:ji;jfj-secretary � Approved:b..u/u 4. /97.s-'
